What is your weather today?

[QUOTE="462, post: 193120,
If you find that you are really missing the snow and cold, there is Flagstaff.

Well when you hang your hat in this country, and keep in mind the town of North Pole is 20 miles south of where I live, I’ve seen enough winter. I’ve seen -82 below zero still air, no wind chill, and you drive, walk on hard pack snow and ice for 6 to 7 months,I think my fond memories will sustain me.
I don’t snow machine, ski, or make snow angels anymore, I just shovel the stuff.
And if it snows where I’m at in Arizona, unless the wind is blowing hard, you will find me with coffee in my lawn chair enjoying the desert winter landscape.

I find winters in the lower 48 are only tough in windy areas and just south of the 49th latitude, of course up around the lakes which combines wind, moisture and cold. And of course in the Rocky’s can get pretty miserable. But the duration is short to far shorter, by comparison.

My sister In Bozeman said similar things after 20 years in AK--"I exchanged 7 months of winter for 4 months. Best deal I ever made." A year or two later, she and her man made the trip south for Christmas, remarking that even the -46* F in West Yellowstone was a trade-up from Alaska's icy hell.

My family in MT and AK think I live in an arid Hell, I think they live in Siberia. We're all probably correct.

I like the cold and snowy winter...but when the bitter cold lasts longer than 3 months, with no breaks of melting weather, I get sad. Luckily we do get a warm spell a few days each month during the winter...that's when you'll see Minnesotan's playing Hockey on a frozen lake while wearing Tee-shirts

Yep it has warmed up to “0” but the wind has come up big time. Blowing snow is going to make it hard for shooting today. So it’s warmer but because of the wind and blowing snow it won’t feel warmer. Can’t win.

Freezing fog here the last two days. Cold down here on the valley floor, but wet clouds blowing over the mountains from the coast. Inversion weather for sure.

 

[JonB]

Dang, it's suppose to be 50ish and nice tomorrow. I'm gonna try to get to the range.
29 today and they are talking low 20s and windy on wednesday...so tomorrow is the DAY for the range.

It is supposed to hit near 50 tomorrow here too. I hope it does I need to hose off about 2" of Upper Peninsula mud off my truck before I head up there again first week in December.
It has been cool and partly cloudy here, highs in the mid 30's lows in the 20's.

Was 31, clear and sunny when I started schlepping trash out to the road at 0700 this morning. Supposed to make it up to the mid to high 50s this afternoon with a bit of a breeze.

 

[Winelover]

Not quite 1 PM, it's already 58 degrees. Doesn't feel like it with the 10 mph SSE winds. Only going down into the mid 40's tonight. Low 50's Thursday AM but rain with steady and falling temperatures during the day. Winds turning out of the north. Twenty eight degrees Friday morning.

 

[Winelover]

Forty seven was the morning low. Brisk south winds at 10-15 mph, today. Was colder than I thought, sitting out for three hours in seven mph winds. Seen nothing, other than birds and squirrels. Winds are really gusting, currently. Filtered sunlight isn't helping, much. Thermometer saying 59*.............doesn't feel like it.

 

[Cadillac Jeff]

cold & windy again----skiff of snow still in the shadows & shade, the little lake at the end of the road has a skim of ice on it!!!

 

[RicinYakima]

Bright and sunny this morning, as it got cold enough to freeze all the moisture in the air coming from the coast. Beautiful hoar frost this morning on everything.

 

[Winelover]

Got 3/10" of rain, overnight. Was 56 degrees at 5:30 AM. Already reached todays high. Winds out of the NW at 10-15 mph. Sun is suppose to make an appearance this afternoon. Tomorrow morning's low is 26 degrees.

Warming trend starting on Saturday and lasting for quite awhile. Temps to be seasonally, normal.........high 50's and 60's.

 

[Rick H]

44* and raining. Supposed to clear out later.

 

[Glaciers]

Just cold and clear. -6 here at the house, -15 in town. Don’t miss the sidewalks either.

 

[CWLONGSHOT]

Started in the low 20's they say 50 is a high. With heavy rain coming in by midnight.

Gonna foul up my Friday Hunt. AM at least.

[fiver]

we hung onto give or take a few on either side of nuthin till about 10 or so this morning then it seemed to warm up pretty good in the afternoon.
i didn't look at a temp gauge, but i probably could have been convinced to play a semi slow motion game of foot ball out in the sunshine,,,, until i fell down on the hard ground the second time anyway.

 

[Winelover]

Mercury saying 24 degrees. Coldest morning so far, this year. Clear with light winds turning out of the SW. Suppose to hit the mid 50's for a high. Stump sitting will have to wait a few hours.

 

[CWLONGSHOT]

Right near freezing and periods of heavy then drizzly rain. Highs maybe 40.

 

[Rick H]

Currently 27*F with a predicted high of 33. Damp cold NW breeze. Yeah, winter is on the way.
